i can only wear plat, stainless or titanium. im allergic to gold.Sorry this happened...but I have to say I've never heard of so many problems with settings (and I used to work for a jeweler). Perhaps it's time to look at something other than platinum - which, being so brittle, may not be the best metal for a delicate setting for your lifestyle?
Just sayin...
I totally give up. CRACK in my new Vatche.

To further expound: I have heard of this issue many times. Platinum when not correctly or well cast can cause porousity in the metal. It's shown usually with pitting, sometimes fissures. When a pit is hit just right, or a weaker spot in the casting, it will spread. The wedding band issues I had with this were because they were not well cast, most likely rushed to get them out of the office faster, even if they weren't correctly made.
I have not had this issue much with engagement ring settings, any of my solitaire settings. This is the first one that was "cast" and not die struck.
My "lifestyle" includes very little wear of a ring. I rarely wear an e-ring or even a plain band when I am working with my hands, and when I have a ring on my left hand is considered unusable for anything more than typing, random writing or holding a drink. I often take my rings off to eat, just to prevent any whacks, or any dunks. I am perfectly capable of wearing platinum in my "lifestyle". I know a lot about jewelry and metal, and I know what will work for my "lifestyle". If my ring was made well, I wouldn't have this issue.

Wow...just wow is all I can say. I am very sorry to hear about this.
I wear my ring constantly and have since the day I received it. I have only taken it off when I delivered by babies. I often think I work too hard with my hands as I do work outside and inside my home a ton. Nothing has ever happened to mine.
I do hope this all works out for you as I can tell it is important to you.

well...after waiting as long as I have, I still have NO news on this ring. My jeweler sent it in and they have yet to return any of his calls, or his emails.
I got the cad for my new wedding band and the cad designer added more stones than should be there but otherwise it looks great. HOPEFULLY that gets done soon.

I'm so sorry. Reading this thread made me very upset. I hope everything works out and that you will have your ring soon!!
I can say that the ridiculously god awful customer "service" and communication this company exhibits will be why I never recommend a setting by them again. This setting is *way* overpriced for what it is, and the total lack of communication and concern by them is appalling.
